Hood Cleaning Services

In Sacramento, maintaining a clean and efficient commercial kitchen is crucial for both safety and performance. Ensuring your restaurant kitchen hood, vent, and exhaust systems are thoroughly cleaned not only aligns with Sacramento’s local fire and health regulations but also significantly reduces fire hazards and enhances air quality. Over time, grease, smoke, and other particles can build up in your hood and duct system, potentially leading to dangerous fire conditions and an unhealthy environment for your staff. By choosing Apex Hood Cleaning for your Sacramento establishment, whether it’s a restaurant, commercial, or residential kitchen, you are entrusting experienced technicians to meticulously clean and inspect your systems. This process removes accumulated grease and debris, preventing fires, improving energy efficiency, and fostering a pristine and safe workspace. Hood cleaning is not only essential for protecting your investment but also for ensuring the well-being of your employees and delivering an exceptional culinary experience to your customers.

The Hood Cleaning Process

Ensuring a clean and properly functioning hood and filter system in your commercial kitchen is essential to maintaining a healthy working environment for your staff. Not only does this promote the well-being of your employees, but a well-maintained system can also prevent potential hazards such as fires and limit the spread of grease and bacteria throughout your kitchen. Apex Hood Cleaning in Sacramento offers a comprehensive cleaning process designed to keep your kitchen safe and operational:

Step #1 Protect Equipment: Industrial-strength plastic covers everything within splash range of the hood, safeguarding your kitchen and minimizing cleanup time.

Step #2 Heated Pressure Wash: Our Sacramento technicians apply a powerful degreaser to residual grease and clean the hood using a heated pressure washer.

Step #3 Clean The Roof: The cleaning process extends to the roof, where trained and certified technicians thoroughly clean the exhaust system fan unit and all connecting ductwork.

Step #4 Stainless Shining: After hood washing, our skilled technicians remove plastic tarping and meticulously detail the kitchen hood with spray bottles, sponges, and rags, leaving it with a gleaming finish.

Step #5 Site Clean Up: With the exhaust hood cleaned and polished, our team completes the job by thoroughly cleaning the site, removing all waste, and mopping the floor.

Step #6 Survey & Recommendation: Upon request, our Sacramento technicians inspect all kitchen exhaust system components and provide repair and replacement recommendations as needed.

Step #7 Exhaust Hood System Maintenance & Repair: In addition to cleaning, we offer comprehensive hood system maintenance and repair services, including replacing filters, fan belts, hinges, and panels.

Hood Cleaning FAQ

How often should a restaurant hood be cleaned?

You may need more frequent cleanings depending on how often you’re cooking and the type of fuel you use. For instance, Sacramento area restaurants will need quarterly cleanings, while some less busy establishments, such as hospital kitchens, can opt for a more spaced-out cleaning schedule – every 6 months. Kitchens that do not build up much grease, such as senior centers, churches, and seasonal locations, can be serviced once a year. Any establishments using solid fuel (wood, charcoal) need a monthly cleaning.

Can I clean my restaurant hood system or have my staff do it?

While daily cleaning of hood filters and basic maintenance can be performed by restaurant staff, a professional hood cleaning service is recommended for thoroughly cleaning the entire exhaust system. Apex Hood Cleaning professionals have the expertise, equipment, and certifications to ensure your system is cleaned effectively, safely, and in compliance with regulations.
